Things Have Changed

Haruto sat through the dull lecture, barely paying attention. After all, this was his second time—his first life and now this one. 

He already knew everything, from the lessons to the tests.

Of course, he couldn't afford to get perfect scores. That would be too suspicious, considering he had always ranked somewhere in the middle of every semester.

So instead, he let out a yawn, resting his cheek on his hand.

BANG!

The teacher smacked the desk, jolting the class to attention. "Hayase, answer question number two." He gestured toward the blackboard.

Haruto exhaled slowly, standing up with a relaxed posture. Without hesitation, he wrote down the correct answer.

This small, insignificant change reminded him just how much the future had already shifted.

He didn't need to use his past life memories. They were useless now because, this time, he would kill Daiki before Haruka even entered high school.
